LOUISVILLE, Ky. September 27, 2011 Electronic Verification Systems (EVS), a leader in fraud prevention solutions<\/a> and id verification<\/a> systems, offers knowledge-based authentication<\/a> (KBA) to businesses to comply with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidance Authentication in an Internet Banking Environment<\/em>.<\/p>\n Because of the increase in online fraud, the FFIEC instated this guidance for businesses that do online banking or transactions as an extra security layer to protect consumers. Knowledge based authentication exists in two forms: static and dynamic.<\/p>\n Static KBA occurs when a consumer chooses from a list of pre-determined questions and provides the answers to them. Due to the use of social media, and the personal information provided on them, someone with fraudulent intent can easily answer these questions.<\/p>\n The more secure type of KBA is dynamic KBA. The questions are not predetermined and do not rely on information that is often publicly available. Because of this, it is much more difficult for a person with fraudulent intent to answer these types of questions correctly. Dynamic KBA is also known as out-of-wallet questions.<\/p>\n Sophisticated id authentication<\/a> question systems usually require the consumer to correctly answer more than one question, and they often include a red herring question. The red herring question is designed to trick a person with fraudulent intent, but the consumer will know the question is not relative, or none of the answers are related to them.<\/p>\n
